NYSE Euronext Suffers From Stock Slump

NYX's Euronext unit is an integrated cross-border exchange combining the former stock exchanges of France, the Netherlands, Belgium and Portugal into a single market.

More familiar to Americans, the firm's NYSE Arca division is an electronic exchange for stocks and other securities that initially do not qualify for listing on the NYSE, but nonetheless meet U.S. registration, accounting and governance standards. Many ETFs and exchange-traded notes, or ETNs, are listed on NYSE Arca, and the recent acquisition of the American Stock Exchange will make NYX the dominant marketplace for those popular investment and trading vehicles.

Investors can trade more than 8,200 equity securities and about 200,000 option products through NYSE Arca.

The firm's competitors include the London Stock Exchange Group (LSE Quote), the commodities trading powerhouse CME Group (CME Quote) and the Nasdaq OMX Group (NDAQ Quote).
